The Vengance-Sequel to The Coalition-

Rejoining

I woke up, surrounded in darkness, in a moving vehicle. I didn't know what else to expect, I felt no one's presence, and I knew that I was alone. Then I remembered what happened.

I was about to kill Claire, but I somehow blacked out. I had to kill her, so I stood. At first, I almost fell but I regained my balance and felt the walls.

By the feel of it, the wall was bumpy and cold, metal. I found a latch and jiggled it. It was loose. I found the piece of wood that was blocking the only exit and pushed it aside. I went back to the latch and pushed it.

The doors opened up, reavleing the outside world. It was night time, and the full moon was out. I could see the trail that the truck left behind, dust. We were driving in the woods, probably escaping because our base was revealed. But I didn't care.

I checked to see if I had my sword with me, and searched for a coat. Finally, when I found one, I put it one and went to the edge of the truck. I steadied myself and finally jumped off.

I landed hard, rolling and I got hurt and dirty, but I still managed to get myself up. When I turned back at the truck, it had stopped. I heard Lloyd and Michael getting out. I quickly ran and hid behind a tree, trying not to make myself noticed.

"Did she get out?" Michael asked.

"Nope, the door just probably opened when we hit that bump. Raveness won't wake up until tomorrow when we make it to Florida." I heard Lloyd relock the door and heard two clicks. Then, I heard the truck start and take off.

That meant that we were in Mexico. Claire was probably already far from here and I was too late.

So, I started my long walk to Florida. I didn't want to get back in the truck because those people would just slow me down even more.

Then, I saw a figure move in the shadows. I took out my sword and got prepared to fight. I looked at my surroundings, but it was way too dark. I growled low and continued my walk, cautiously.

Then, I was in the ground, a body on top of me. This person was heavy. I struggled to escape, but this person just wouldn't budge. I felt their arm on my shoulder and saw my opportunity.

I gripped the person's hand, tightly and threw them off of me. I ran towards the person and saw it was a female.

Perfect, if Claire wouldn't give me a fight maybe this person will.

The girl got up and started to throw blades at me. I dodged every single one of them, then when I landed, the girl swung her leg, making me fall hard onto my side.

I grunted, but still held onto my sword.

The girl hovered over me and was about to strike when I rolled over to my side. I got up fast and was to return the strike, when she disappeared. Just like Claire, a baby.

I looked up, but didn't find her. Then, I felt something pass my arm, creating a gash. I looked at the cut, that was bleeding and winced.

I turned around and saw spikes being thrown at me. I was about to dodge when, my foot got caught on something. A rope

I swung there upside down, by a rope on my foot. I was going to get myself free, when I felt people all around me, pointing weapons straight at me.

I saw the girl that I was fighting, hold a sword, standing next to a tall man.

All around me, I heard people murmuring in silence. I recognized these people automatically. They were the same ones that were after Jordan, the same ones that want revenge on the guy that killed their leader.

These people were the Red Coats

The only question that swirled around my head was,"I thought that The Red Coats had ended when your leader died. How did you return?"

The girl stepped up and instead of explaining my question, she blind folded me.

They took my only weapon and got me down from there. Then, they tied my hands behind my back with rope and led me somewhere.

          ***

Finally, they took the blindfold off, revealing a dark room. The only light came from the light bulb that was shining on me.

Red Coats surrounded the place, and the girl stood in front of me. I was sitting on a chair, hands tied back and my feet tied my as well. I couldn't feel or move any muscle in my body.

The girl wore a red coat, gray pants, long boots, and a general like hat. She held a pistol, very tight. My sword was hanging on the wall.

"Now, we can answer your question." the girl's green eyes stared at me, waiting for me to make a silly mistake. Her short, black hair was tied in a low ponytail.

"After the boss died, we decided to just lay low for awhile. To fool people that the Red Coats had ended and that the war was over, but my dear, that was only the beginning. We trained and trained in that short isolation, and we got stronger and better. After, we decided to finally end Jordan, for all the things he has done, but I thank him because if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't of have gotten this strong." the girl had a somewhat of an accent.

"Okay, but who are you exactly?" I demanded.

"I am Kirihara, new general of the Red Coats." she stopped in front of me, and locked eyes with me,"When we found out that you had escaped, we knew that you were the one that we have been waiting for." she smiled wide.

What was her plan exactly?

"What do you want from me?"

"You used to work with Jordan, so you must know all of his moves and where he is at, am I correct?"

I nodded,"Of course. Well, since we separated I don't know his moves that well as I used to, but knowing Jordan, he wouldn't change his strategy. Now, answer my question, what do you want from me?" I demanded.

"Raveness, would you like to join forces with us and kill Jordan?" the question didn't shock me, I kinda expected her to ask me that.

"Why would I? If I'm already good on my own?" I didn't need no help and if I joined this group, they would slow me down even more.

"Raveness, you can't do this alone, but if you join us, not only will you become stronger, but you'll be able to get him by surprise. he won't expect you to come at him with reinforcments. Will stronger ones." Kirihara straightened up and crossed her arms.

"I can do anything, alone. I work all by self. I don't need people stopping me and slowing me down."

"You think, but if you join us, we promise we won't slow you down. We'll make you stronger and we'll help you use a gun, if you don't know how to." she waved her pistol at me.

I would be able to get Jordan with more strength and I do need some work out. This bitch did have a point, but I would have to wear that hideous outfit,"If I do join, he'll know that it's the Red Coats because of how you guys look like."

"We discuise ourselves when we go out on missions now a days. You probably don't know this, but  the Red Coats live everywhere now, but you just don't notice them. In fact one of the people you hired currently is a spy working for us."

"Zoey?"

"Nope, Michael. You didn't know that now did you?" so, all of this time, I have had a spy a Red Coat spy and I didn't know? How stupid of me, but they are very good.

"So, what do you say, will you join us?"

It took me awhile to answer the question, but I knew what I had to do. I looked straight into Kirihara's eyes and said,"Yes, I will join your Red Coats."
